NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Organization and Nature of Business Kymera Therapeutics, Inc., together with its subsidiary Kymera Securities Corporation, is referred to on a consolidated basis as the “Company”. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing small molecule therapeutics that selectively degrade disease-causing proteins by harnessing the body’s own natural cellular process, a method known as targeted protein degradation. The Company has devoted its efforts principally to research and development since formation. The Company has not yet completed product development, filed for or obtained regulatory approvals for any products, nor verified the market acceptance and demand for such products. As a result, the Company is subject to a number of risks common to emerging companies in the biotech industry. Principal among these risks are the uncertainties of the product discovery and development process, dependence on key individuals, development of the same or similar technological innovations by the Company’s competitors, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations and approval requirements, the Company’s ability to access capital and uncertainty of market acceptance of products. The Company has historical net losses and anticipates that it will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and had an accumulated deficit of $116.1 million as of September 30, 2020. The Company has funded these losses principally through issuance common stock, including its initial public offering (“IPO), which was completed in August 2020, preferred stock, convertible notes and from cash proceeds received in connection with the Company’s collaboration agreements with Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (“Vertex”) and Genzyme Corporation (“Sanofi”) (see Note 5). The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flows until such time as it generates a level of revenue that is sufficient to support its cost structure. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $481.3 million. The Company believes these cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund its operations and capital expenditure requirements through at least twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company expects to finance the future research and development costs of its product portfolio with its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, or through strategic financing opportunities that could include, but are not limited to future offerings of its equity, collaboration agreements, or the incurrence of debt. However, there is no guarantee that any of these strategic or financing opportunities will be executed or realized on favorable terms, if at all, and some could be dilutive to existing stockholders. If the Company fails to obtain additional future capital, it may be unable to complete its planned preclinical studies and clinical trials. Reverse Stock Split On August 20, 2020, the Board approved a 1-for-1.5949 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock and a proportional adjustment to the existing conversion ratios for each of the Company’s outstanding series of preferred stock. All share and per share amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to this reverse stock split, including reclassifying an amount equal to the reduction in par value of common stock to additional paid-in capital. Initial Public Offering On August 20, 2020, the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 relating to its initial public offering of its common stock was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the IPO, which closed on August 25, 2020, the Company issued and sold 9,987,520 shares of common stock, including full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,302,720 shares, at a public offering price of $20.00 per share and the aggregate gross proceeds before deducting before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, were approximately $199.8 million. Concurrent with the IPO, the Company issued and sold 676,354 shares of common stock at $20.00 per share in a private placement to Vertex. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note, and elsewhere in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes. 6 KYMERA THERAPEUTICS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Kymera Securities Corporation. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Since the date of such audited consolidated financial statements, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies except as noted below. Basis of Presentation The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company’s final prospectus for its IPO filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with the SEC on August 21, 2020. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary, all of which were normal and recurring, for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2020, and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ended December 31, 2020 or for any future period. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. These assets include investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. Treasury obligations and corporate bonds. The Company maintains its bank accounts at major financial institutions. Restricted Cash Restricted cash represents the cash held to secure letters of credit associated with the Company’s facility leases. Common and Preferred Stock Valuation The Company utilized significant estimates and assumptions in determining the fair value of its equity and equity-based awards. The Company utilized various valuation methodologies in accordance with the framework of the 2013 American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Technical Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation, to estimate the fair value of its equity awards. The Company used a hybrid of the probability-weighted expected returns method (“PWERM”), and the option pricing method (“OPM”) when allocating enterprise value to classes of securities. Under the probability-weighted expected return method, or PWERM, the value of an enterprise, and its underlying common securities, are estimated based on an analysis of future values for the enterprise, assuming various outcomes. The value of the common securities is based on the probability-weighted present value of expected future investment returns considering each of the possible outcomes and the rights of each class of equity. The future values of the common securities under the various outcomes are discounted back to the valuation date at an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate and then probability weighted to determine the value for the common securities. The option pricing method, or OPM, treats common securities and preferred securities as call options on the enterprise’s equity value, with exercise prices based on the liquidation preferences of the preferred securities. Under this method, the common securities 7 KYMERA THERAPEUTICS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) have value only if the funds available for distribution to shareholders exceed the value of the liquidation preferences at the time of a liquidity event. The Black-Scholes model is used to price the call option, and the model includes assumptions for the time to liquidity and the volatility of equity value. The hybrid method is a hybrid between the PWERM and OPM, estimating the probability-weighted value across multiple scenarios but using the OPM to estimate the allocation of value within one or more of those scenarios. Valuations performed in the year ended December 31, 2019 and the nine months ended September 30, 2020, used a hybrid of the PWERM and OPM when allocating the Company’s enterprise value to classes of securities. When using the hybrid method, the Company assumed two scenarios: an IPO scenario and a trade-sale scenario. The IPO scenario estimated an equity value based on the guideline public company method under a market approach. The guideline public companies considered for this scenario consist of biopharmaceutical companies with recently completed initial public offerings. The Company converted its estimated future value in an IPO to present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The equity value for the trade-sale scenario was estimated using the price of a recently issued preferred security, as well as a milestone-based tranche closing. The Company utilized an option pricing model to quantify or attribute value to these economic rights of convertible preferred stock vs. the common stock (e.g. liquidation preferences, dividend provisions, participation rights after liquidation preferences.) In the OPM, volatility is estimated based on the trading histories of selected guideline public companies. The relative probability of each scenario was determined based on an assessment of then-current market conditions and the Company’s expectations as to timing and prospects of an IPO. Each valuation methodology includes estimates and assumptions that require significant judgment. These estimates and assumptions include a number of objective and subjective factors, including the prices at which shares were traded between holders of the Company, external market conditions, the prices at which the Company sold convertible preferred shares, the superior rights and preferences of securities senior to common shares at the time, and the likelihood of achieving a voluntary or involuntary liquidity event. Significant changes to the key assumptions used in the valuations could result in different fair values of common shares at each valuation date, as applicable. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss includes net loss as well as unrealized gains on marketable securities and other changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) that result from transactions and economic events other than those with stockholders. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments . This update provides clarifications for three topics related to financial instruments accounting, some of which apply to the Company. The Company adopted as of January 1, 2020 and it did not have a significant impact on its financial position or results of operation In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The new standard will align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs for hosting arrangements (services) with costs for internal-use software (assets). As a result, certain implementation costs incurred in hosting arrangements will be deferred and amortized. The Company adopted as of January 1, 2020 and it did not have a significant impact on its financial position or results of operation. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The new standard will be effective beginning January 1, 2020. The Company adopted as of January 1, 2020 and it did not have a significant impact on its financial position or results of operation. 8 KYMERA THERAPEUTICS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements . The new standard requires that expected credit losses relating to financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis and available-for-sale debt securities be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. It also limits the amount of credit losses to be recognized for available-for-sale debt securities to the amount by which carrying value exceeds fair value and also requires the reversal of previously recognized credit losses if fair value increases. As an emerging growth company, the Company expects to delay adoption until January 1, 2023 and is evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. 3. Fair Value Measurements The following table presents information about the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the level of the fair value hierarchy utilized to determine such fair values as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2020: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash equivalents Money market fund $ 17,208 $ — $ — $ 17,208 Corporate bonds — 13,788 — 13,788 Marketable securities, current US treasuries 191,286 — — 191,286 Corporate bonds — 47,962 — 47,962 Marketable securities, non-current US treasuries 154,696 — — 154,696 Corporate bonds — 32,768 — 32,768 Restricted cash 1,788 — — 1,788 Total $ 364,978 $ 94,518 $ — $ 459,496 Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2019: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Marketable securities $ 15,942 $ — $ — $ 15,942 Restricted cash 1,774 — — 1,774 Total $ 17,716 $ — $ — $ 17,716 During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. 4. Marketable Securities The following table summarizes the available-for-sale debt securities held at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and (in thousands): Description Amortized Cost Unrealized Gains Unrealized Losses Fair Value September 30, 2020 U.S. treasury securities $ 346,066 $ — $ (84 ) $ 345,982 Corporate securities 80,814 — (86 ) 80,728 Total $ 426,880 $ — $ (170 ) $ 426,710 9 KYMERA THERAPEUTICS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Description Amortized Cost Unrealized Gains Unrealized Losses Fair Value December 31, 2019 U.S. treasury securities $ 15,936 $ 6 $ — $ 15,942 Total $ 15,936 $ 6 $ — $ 15,942 As of September 30, 2020, the Company held 60 securities that had been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months with an aggregate fair value of $377.4 million. As of December 31, 2019, the Company did not hold any securities that were in an unrealized loss position. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had 42 securities with a fair value of $253.0 million with a contractual maturity of less than 12 months and 26 securities with a fair value of $187.5 million with a contractual maturity of greater than 12 months. As of December 31, 2019, all of the Company’s marketable securities had remaining contractual maturity dates of less than one year from the condensed consolidated balance sheet date. There were no sales of marketable securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and year ending December 31, 2019. The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairments based on quantitative and qualitative factors, and considered the decline in market value for the 60 securities in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2020, to be primarily attributable to the then current econom ic and market conditions. The Company neither intends to sell these investments nor concludes that it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will have to sell them before recovery of their carrying values. The Company also believe that it will be able to collect both principal and interest amounts due to it at maturity. 5. Collaborations Sanofi Collaboration Arrangement Agreement Terms On July 7, 2020, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement, or the Sanofi Agreement, with Sanofi, to co-develop drug candidates directed to two biological targets. Under the Sanofi Agreement, the Company granted to Sanofi a worldwide exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize certain lead compounds generated during the collaboration directed against IRAK4, or Collaboration Target 1, and one additional undisclosed target in an undisclosed field of use, or Collaboration Target 2. Such license is exercisable on a collaboration target-by-collaboration target basis only after specified milestones. For compounds directed against IRAK4, the field of use includes diagnosis, treatment, cure, mitigation or prevention of any diseases, disorders or conditions, excluding oncology and immune-oncology. Pursuant to the Sanofi Agreement, the Company is responsible for discovery and preclinical research and conducting a phase 1 clinical trial for at least one degrader directed against IRAK4 plus up to three backup degraders. With respect to both targets, Sanofi is responsible for development, manufacturing, and commercialization of product candidates after a specified development milestone occurs with respect to each collaboration candidate. In addition, pursuant to the Sanofi Agreement, Sanofi will grant to the Company an exclusive option, or Opt-In Right, exercisable on a collaboration target-by-collaboration target basis that will include the right to (i) to fund 50% of the United States development costs for collaboration products directed against such target in the applicable field of use and (ii) share equally in the net profits and net losses of commercializing collaboration products directed against such target in the applicable field of use in the United States. In addition, if the Company exercises the Opt-In Right, Sanofi will grant to the Company an exclusive option, applicable to each collaboration target, which upon exercise will allow the Company to conduct certain co-promotion activities in the field in the United States. The Sanofi Agreement, unless earlier terminated, will expire on a product-by-product basis on the date of expiration of all payment obligations under the Sanofi Agreement with respect to such product. The Company or Sanofi may terminate the agreement upon the other party’s material breach or insolvency or for certain patent challenges. In addition, Sanofi may terminate the agreement for convenience or for a material safety event upon advance prior written notice, and the Company may terminate the agreement with respect to any collaboration candidate if, following Sanofi’s assumption of responsibility for the development, commercialization or manufacturing of collaboration candidates with respect to a particular target, Sanofi ceases to exploit any collaboration candidates directed to such target for a specified period. 10 KYMERA THERAPEUTICS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) In consideration for t he exclusive licenses granted to Sanofi under the Sanofi Agreement, Sanofi paid to the Company an upfront payment of $150 .0 million. The Company will also be reimbursed for certain research activities for a certain backup degrader under the IRAK4 program, unless certain criteria are not met for an initial IRAK4 degrader. In addition to the upfront payment and the reimbursements , the Com pany is eligible to receive certain development milestone payments of up to $1.48 billion in the aggregate, of which more than $1.0 billion relates to the IRAK4 program, upon the achievement of certain developmental or regulatory events. The Company will b e eligible to receive certain commercial milestone payments up to $700 .0 million in the aggregate, of which $400 million relates to the IRAK4 program, which are payable upon the achievement of certain net sales thresholds. The Company will be eligible to r eceive tiered royalties for each program on net sales ranging from the high single digits to high teens, subject to low-single digits upward adjustments in certain circumstances. Accounting Treatment The Company analyzed the discovery and pre-clinical research activities as well as the exclusive license grants under the Sanofi Agreement and concluded that the arrangement was indicative of a vendor-customer relationship and would be accounted for under ASC 606. The Company identified the following material promises under the arrangement: (1) research services for Collaboration Target 1, (2) research license for Collaboration Target 1, (3) exclusive license for Collaboration Target 1, (4) research services for Collaboration Target 2, (5) research license for Collaboration Target 2, (6) exclusive license for Collaboration Target 2, (7) option to extend the research term, and (8) optional research services during the development period. The Company determined that Collaboration Targets 1 and 2 are distinct from each other. The research associated with degraders directed to each target is at different stages and the licensed field, should development activities be successful, are different from each other. As such, all promises associated with each target are considered distinct from promises associated with the other target. The research and development services for each collaboration target were determined not to be distinct from the research license and the exclusive license and have been combined into a single performance obligation for each collaboration target. That is, two performance obligations were identified, the combined research services, research license and exclusive license for Collaboration Target 1 and the combined research services, research license and exclusive license for Collaboration Target 2. The exclusive license for each target is not distinct from the pre-clinical and clinical research and development services under the Sanofi Agreement, primarily due to the highly specialized nature of the research and novel technology involved with developing protein degraders – the pre-clinical activities and studies and first phase 1 clinical trial could not be conducted by another party in the manner required. The option to extend the research term and optional research services during the development period were evaluated as material rights. The fees associated with each option are at or above the standalone selling price. As such, the underlying options are not performance obligations and fees associated with each option are excluded from the transaction price until the underlying option is exercised. The Company determined the total transaction price to be $ 150.0 million, which consists solely of the upfront payment. All milestones payments and option payments are constrained as the achievement of such milestones are contingent upon the success of the underlying research and development activities and are generally outside the control of the Company. The reimbursement of costs for the IRAK4 backup degrader is also treated as constrained variable consideration as the criteria for reimbursement may not always be met, under which circumstances the Company would be responsible for the costs related to the backup degrader. Upon becoming unconstrained, the reimbursement consideration will be added to the transaction price and allocated to Collaboration Target 1. The Company allocated the upfront payment to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price, as follows: • Collaboration Target 1: $120.0 million • Collaboration Target 2: $30.0 million The Company determined the allocation of the $150.0 million transaction price between Collaboration Target 1 and Collaboration Target 2 based on the value of the research and development for the programs from projected research and development costs for each collaboration target plus a developer’s profit and the total potential milestones for each collaboration target. 11 KYMERA THERAPEUTICS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) The Company recogniz es revenue associated with each performance obligation as the research and development services are provided using an input method, using an input method, according to costs incurred as related to the research and development activities for each individual program and the costs expected to be incurred in the future to satisfy that individual performance obligation. The transfer of control occurs over this time period and, in management’s judgment, is the best measure of progress towards satisfying each perf ormance obligation. The amounts received that have not yet been recognized as revenue are deferred as a contract liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and will be recognized over the remaining research and development period until the perfo rmance obligation is satisfied. Reimbursement consideration added to the transaction price will be recognized as revenue on the same pattern as Collaboration Target 1, with a cumulative catch-up upon becoming unconstrained. The performance obligation has not been fully satisfied as of September 30, 2020. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized $10. 9 million in revenue under the Sanofi Agreement, of which $10. 2 million was associated with Collaboration Target 1 and $0. 7 million was associated with Collaboration Target 2. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the Company’s unsatisfied performance obligations and recorded in deferred revenue at September 30, 2020 is $139. 7 million. The Company will rec ognize the deferred revenue related to the research and development services based on a cost input method, as described, over the remaining research term , which is a maximum of three years as of September 30, 2020. Any consideration related to performance based milestones will be recognized when the risk of probable reversal is resolved, at which point the Company shall adjust the transaction price determined for the agreement accordingly and recognize revenue on a cumulative-catch up basis, reallocating the revised arrangement consideration to the performance obligations. Any consideration related to sales milestone payments and royalties will be recognized when the related milestone events or sales occur and therefore are recognized at the later of when the related sales occur or the relevant performance obligation is satisfied. As part of its evaluation of constraining the milestones, the Company considered numerous factors, including the fact that the achievement of the research and development milestones are contingent upon the results of the underlying research and development activities and are thus outside of the control of the Company Sanofi participated in the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock offering and as a result of this, is considered a related party. Vertex Agreement On May 9, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a collaboration agreement (the “Vertex Agreement”) with Vertex to advance small molecule protein degraders against up to six targets. Under the Vertex Agreement, Vertex has the exclusive option to license the rights to the product candidates developed for the designated targets at which point Vertex will control development and commercialization. Pursuant to the Vertex Agreement, the Company is only responsible for discovery and preclinical research on the targets, and Vertex is responsible for development, manufacturing, and commercialization of the product candidates after it exercises its option to license. The initial research term of the collaboration is four (4) years, extendable for an additional one (1) year period upon mutual agreement by the parties and payment by Vertex of certain per-target fees. Vertex provided the Company with a non-refundable upfront payment of $50.0 million and purchased 3,059,695 shares of the Company’s Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B-1”) at $6.54 a share, pursuant to a separate, but simultaneously executed Share Purchase Agreement. The shares were purchased at a premium of $5.9 million, which was included in the transaction price and will be recognized as revenue over the period of performance. As a result of this purchase, Vertex is considered a related party. The Company is eligible to receive up to $170.0 million in payments per target, including development, regulatory and commercial milestones as well as option exercise payments. In addition, Vertex is obligated to pay the Company tiered royalties on future net sales on any products that may result from the Vertex Agreement. None of the payments under the Vertex Agreement are refundable. The Company may also perform follow-on research for an optioned target upon Vertex’s request and at Vertex’s expense. The term of the Vertex Agreement began on the Effective Date and expires upon the expiration of all payment obligations from Vertex to Company under the Vertex Agreement or, if Vertex does not exercise any of its options, the lapse of all Vertex’s option rights under the Vertex Agreement. Vertex also has the ability to terminate for convenience with prior written notice to the Company, and either party may terminate for an uncured material breach. Accounting Treatment The Company analyzed the joint research activities required under the Vertex Agreement and concluded that the arrangement was indicative of a vendor-customer relationship and would be accounted for under ASC 606. 12 KYMERA THERAPEUTICS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) The Company identified the following material promises under the arrangement: (1) the non-exclusive, royalty-free research license; and (2) the research and development services to be performed on up to six targets; and (3) the option to license each of th e targets for development, manufacturing, and commercialization efforts. The research and development services were determined not to be distinct from the research and development license and have been combined into a single performance obligation. The Com pany determined that the option to license the targets in the future was not priced at a discount, and that the option exercise fee for each target is at or above the standalone selling price for research at this stage of development; as such, the options and the underlying licenses are excluded from the performance obligation and the option exercise fees are excluded from the transaction price until the underlying option is exercised. As part of its evaluation of constraining the research and development milestones, the Company considered numerous factors, including the fact that the achievement of the research and development milestones are contingent upon the results of the underlying research and development activities and are thus outside of the control of the Company. At the commencement of the arrangement, two units of accounting were identified, the issuance of 3,059,695 shares of the Company’s Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and the research activities the Company will perform over the Research Term. The Company determined the total transaction price to be $55.9 million, which consists of $5.9 million attributed to the premium from the Series B-1 shares sold to Vertex and the $50.0 million upfront payment. To determine the fair value of the Series B-1 issued to Vertex, the Company performed a valuation of the shares of the Company’s common and preferred stock, which took into consideration recent financings, and the Company’s recent development and future exit strategies, as well as a discount for lack of marketability. The Company recognizes revenue associated with the performance obligation as the research and development services are provided using an input method, according to the costs incurred as related to the research and development activities on each program and the costs expected to be incurred in the future to satisfy the performance obligation. The transfer of control occurs over this time period and, in management’s judgment, is the best measure of progress towards satisfying the performance obligation. The amounts received that have not yet been recognized as revenue are deferred as a contract liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and will be recognized over the remaining research and development period until the performance obligation is satisfied. The performance obligation has not been fully satisfied as of September 30, 2020. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $3.6 million and $1.0 million, and $10.3 million and $1.1 million respectively, in revenue under the Vertex Agreement. All $10.3 million revenue recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was recognized from amounts that were recorded in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2019. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the Company’s unsatisfied performance obligation and recorded in deferred revenue at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020 is $42.6 million and $53.0 million, respectively. The Company will recognize the deferred revenue related to the research and development services based on a cost input method, over the remaining research term, which is a maximum of 2.6 years as of September 30, 2020. Any consideration related to sales milestone payments (including royalties) will be recognized when the related milestone events or sales occur and therefore are recognized at the later of when the related sales occur or the relevant performance obligation is satisfied. Compound Collaboration In October 2017, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement (the “Collaboration”) with a pharmaceutical company to jointly identify, research and conduct preclinical development of collaboration compounds against specified collaboration targets to identify drug candidates. Under the terms of the Collaboration, both parties provided one another with a non-exclusive, royalty-free, sub-licensable research and development license to each party’s intellectual property to develop five agreed-upon collaboration targets, as well as an exclusive, royalty-bearing development and commercialization license to sell any licensed products that stem from such research. The parties also have the ability to nominate additional collaboration targets if agreed-upon, as long as there are no more than five targets at any given time. In exchange for the non-exclusive license rights, the Company provided the pharmaceutical company with an equity grant and is required to make tiered royalty payments based on net sales of all products licensed under the agreement in the low single-digit percentages. In conjunction with the Collaboration, the Company initially issued 886,305 Series A Preferred Units (“Series A Preferred Units”) to the pharmaceutical company. On November 1, 2018, these Series A Preferred Units were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). These shares vest in equal installments over three years. The Company is recording expense over the remaining vesting period based on the fair value of the shares under the Collaboration. The Company recorded $0.3 million to research and development expense related to the vesting of 166,183 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, all shares under the Collaboration were fully vested and all expense had been recognized. 13 KYMERA THERAPEUTICS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) The royalty payments are contingent and as such are not being recorded until incurr ed. The Company determined that the license is representative of an in-process research and development asset, with no future alternative use. As such, the Company records the expense related to the vesting of shares of Series A Preferred Stock as research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Collaboration can be terminated by either party for convenience with 60-days written notice and may also be terminated in the event of a material breach. The following table presents the changes in accounts receivable, contract assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (in thousands) Balance at December 31, 2019 Additions Deductions Balance at September 30, 2020 Accounts receivable and contract assets: Billed receivables - Sanofi $ — $ 150,000 $ (150,000 ) $ — Unbilled receivables - Sanofi — 577 — 577 Total accounts receivable and contract assets $ — $ 150,577 $ (150,000 ) $ 577 Contract Liabilities: Deferred Revenue - Vertex $ 52,991 $ — $ (10,373 ) $ 42,618 Deferred Revenue - Sanofi — 150,577 (10,876 ) 139,701 Total contract liabilities $ 52,991 $ 150,577 $ (21,249 ) $ 182,319 6.

Included in property and equipment is lab and office equipment right-of-use assets under financing leases with a cost basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 of $2.8 million and accumulated amortization expense of $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Amortization expense related to right-of-use assets during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Amortization expense related to right-of-use assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and is included in depreciation expense. 14 KYMERA THERAPEUTICS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 7. Leases In February 2018, the Company entered into a noncancelable facility lease agreement (the “Lease”) for 9,836 square feet of research and development and office space in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In March 2020, the Company signed a termination agreement for this lease which was determined to be a lease modification that resulted in a reduction of the right-of-use asset and liability of $2.2 million. The lease termination was effective July 31, 2020 and the Company no longer has any obligations under the Lease. In accordance with the lease agreement, the Company was required to maintain a security deposit and provided a letter of credit to the landlord for $0.2 million, which was recorded in other assets as of December 31, 2019 and other current assets as of September 30, 2020. In October 2020, the Company was released from the security deposit and letter of credit and collected the $0.2 million previously classified in other current assets. In April 2019, the Company entered into a facility sublease agreement (the “Sublease”) for 1,471 square feet of office space in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The term of the lease began on June 24, 2019 and terminated on June 30, 2020, and following termination, the Company had no further obligations under the Sublease. The Sublease required the Company to share in prorated operating expenses and property taxes based upon actual amounts incurred; those amounts were considered variable lease costs and, therefore, are not included in the measurement of the lease and are instead recognized to expense as incurred. In October 2019, the Company entered into a noncancelable facility lease agreement (the “New Lease”) for 34,522 square feet of research and development and office space in Watertown, Massachusetts. The term of the New Lease is 120 months and expires on March 31, 2030. The New Lease has an option to be extended for an additional five years. The lease is not reasonably certain to be extended and as such the additional term is not included in the measurement of the lease. The New Lease includes a rent escalation clause, and rent expense is being recorded on a straight-line basis. The Company will receive a tenant incentive allowance of $5.5 million in 2020 as the tenant improvements are completed and submitted for reimbursement. In accordance with the lease agreement, the Company is required to maintain a security deposit and provided a letter of credit to the landlord for $1.6 million, which is recorded in other assets as of September 30, 2020. The Company has received $5.3 million of cash reimbursements from the landlord through September 30, 2020. The tenant improvement receivable in other current assets is $0.2 million at September 30, 2020. The Company’s financing lease obligations consist of certain property and equipment financed through capital leases. The components of the lease costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Operating lease costs $ 606 $ 247 $ 2,195 $ 674 Financing lease costs: Amortization of right-to-use assets, financing leases 183 80 539 239 Interest expense for financing lease liabilities 29 4 94 16 Variable lease costs 216 103 431 286 Total lease costs $ 1,034 $ 434 $ 3,259 $ 1,215 15 KYMERA THERAPEUTICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 9. Other Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation as the Company operates in an industry susceptible to patent legal claims. The Company accounts for estimated losses with respect to legal proceedings and claims when such losses are probable and estimable. Legal costs associated with these matters are expensed when incurred. The Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings. Indemnification Arrangements As permitted under Delaware law, the Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its investors, employees, officers, and directors (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) for certain events or occurrences while the Indemnified Parties are, or were serving, at its request in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for the Indemnified Parties’ lifetime. The Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally the Company’s business partners or customers, in connection with any U.S. patent or any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to the Company’s products. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. The Company is not aware of any claims under indemnification arrangements, and it has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019. 10. Convertible Preferred Stock Immediately prior to the IPO, the Company’s Articles of Association (the “Articles”), as further amended and restated (the “2018 Amended Articles”), authorized a total of 52,483,788 convertible preferred stocks with a par value of $0.0001 per share, of which 3,000,000 shares have been designated as Series Seed Preferred Stock, 14,886,305 shares have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock, 16,009,845 shares have been designated as Series B Preferred Stock, 3,059,695 shares have been designated as Series B-1 Preferred Stock and 15,527,943 shares have been designated as Series C Preferred Stock. The Series A, Series B, Series B-1 and Series C convertible preferred stocks will be collectively referred to as the Convertible Preferred Stock. In January 2020, the Company issued 1,182,265 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at $4.06 per share to complete the second closing of the Series B Preferred Stock issuance for total proceeds of $4.8 million. The issuance costs related to the second tranche was insignificant. In March 2020, the Company executed a Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series C SPA”) to issue 13,539,141 shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $6.5366 per share for a total consideration of $88.2 million, net of issuance costs of $0.3 million. In conjunction with the Series C SPA, the Company exchanged 1,988,802 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an equal number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock related to a transaction amongst investors. This resulted in a total issuance of 15,527,943 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The fair value of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued exceeded the carrying value of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock exchanged by $9.1 million, which was recognized as a deemed dividend through a reduction of $2.3 million to additional paid-in capital and an increase of $6.7 million to the accumulated deficit. The $9.1 million deemed dividend increased the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to arrive at net loss attributable to common stockholders in the calculation of earnings per share. In connection with the Company’s August 21, 2020, IPO all issued and outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock of 50,439,595 were converted to 31,625,534 shares of the Company’s common stock and are no longer issued or outstanding as of September 30, 2020. 11.

No further grants will be made under the 2018 Plan. However, the 2018 Plan will continue to govern outstanding equity awards granted thereunder. To the extent outstanding options granted under the 2018 Plan are cancelled, forfeited or otherwise terminated without being exercised and would otherwise have been returned to the share reserve under the 2018 Plan, the number of shares underlying such awards will be available for future grant under the 2020 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. Following the completion of the Company’s initial public offering no additional shares will be granted under the 2018 Plan. However, the 2018 Plan will continue to govern outstanding equity awards granted thereunder. 17 KYMERA THERAPEUTICS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 2020 Stock Option and Incentive Plan In August 2020, the Company and its stockholders approved the 2020 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which became effective on August 20, 2020. The 2020 Plan replaced the 2018 Plan as the Company’s board of directors has determined not to make additional awards under the 2018 Plan following the closing of the Company’s IPO. The 2020 Plan allows the Company to make equity-based and cash-based incentive awards to its officers, employees, directors and consultants.

These limits are subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other change in the Company’s capitalization. As of September 30, 2020, there were an aggregate of 3,340,887 shares remaining available for future grants. 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan In August 2020, the Company and its stockholders approved the 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2020 ESPP”), which became effective August 20, 2020.

The 2020 ESPP provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance will automatically increase on January 1, 2021 and each January 1 thereafter through January 1, 2030, by the least of (i) 438,898 shares of common stock, (ii) 1% of the Company’s outstanding number of shares of common stock on the immediately preceding December 31 or (iii) such lesser number of shares of common stock as determined by the administrator of the 2020 ESPP.

Related-Party Transactions In addition to the collaborations discussed in Note 5, the Company had the following related party transactions for the period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, which has not otherwise been discussed in these notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Company made payments of $0.8 million and $0.9 million to an investor for rent expenses during both the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. 13. Income Taxes Income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 20, 2020 and 2019 have been calculated based on an estimated annual effective tax rate and certain discrete items. For the three and nine months end September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $0 million. On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Among other things, the CARES Act permits corporate taxpayers to carryback net operating losses (“NOLs”) originating in 2018 through 2020 to each of the five preceding tax years. Further, the CARES Act removed the 80% taxable income limitation on utilization of those NOLs allowing corporate taxpayers to fully utilize NOL carryforwards to offset taxable income in 2018, 2019 or 2020. Such changes may result in the generation of refunds of previously paid income taxes which are expected to be received over the next eighteen months. The Company has never been examined by the Internal Revenue Service or any other jurisdiction for any tax years and, as such, all years within the applicable statutes of limitations are potentially subject to audit. 14. Net Loss per Share Net Loss per Share Basic and diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding (in thousands, except for share and per share data): Three Months Ended, September 30 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Numerator: Net loss $ (7,986 ) $ (11,420 ) $ (32,908 ) $ (29,733 ) Deemed dividend from exchange of convertible preferred stock — — (9,050 ) — Net loss attributable to common stockholders $ (7,986 ) $ (11,420 ) $ (41,958 ) $ (29,733 ) Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic and diluted 20,677,392 1,745,404 8,211,003 1,638,579 Net loss per share, basic and diluted $ (0.39 ) $ (6.54 ) $ (5.11 ) $ (18.15 ) 20 KYMERA THERAPEUTICS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include convertible preferred stock, restricted stock, and stock options, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same. The Company excluded the following from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders at September 30, 2020 and 2019 because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 Convertible Preferred Stock — 30,330,330 Unvested Restricted Stock 133,317 261,354 Options to purchase Common Stock 5,651,725 1,953,647 Total 5,785,042 32,545,331 21
